Agent Orange answers elusive



Agent Orange answers elusive

What has really flown under the radar with the litigation at Fort Detrick is the fact that similar tests were also conducted at Fort Ritchie, Fort Meade, Edgewood Arsenal and Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Also disbursement into the waters around Poole’s Island and in the Dundee Creek by the Army Corps of Engineers dock at Gunpowder State Park in Southeastern Baltimore County. During the week of July 14, 1969, personnel from the Naval Applied Science Laboratory and personnel from the Limited War Laboratory sprayed the shorelines with Agent Orange, Super Orange (developed and used in Vietnam 1967-71) and Agent Orange Foam and Orange Plus Foam. I am awaiting Freedom of Information documents concerning the amount used with this disbursement.
